Understanding the Importance of Tree Pruning

Understanding the Importance of Tree Pruning

The value of a tree extends far beyond its aesthetic appeal. A tree contributes to its environment in many ways, providing shade, improving air quality, and serving as a habitat for wildlife. But just like any living organism, trees require attention and care to stay healthy and safe. At Mortensen Tree Service, Inc., one of the vital services we offer to help maintain and enhance your trees is pruning.

Tree Trimming in Littleton CO involves the careful removal of certain parts of a tree, such as branches, buds, or roots. But it’s not just about cutting things away. Done correctly, pruning can help protect a tree from disease and pests, promote growth, and even prolong its life. As a team of certified arborists, we’re skilled in understanding when and how to prune to achieve these outcomes.

Regular tree pruning is crucial for several reasons. The first one is tree health. Overcrowded branches can hinder sunlight and air circulation, which can lead to disease or pest infestation. By removing dead or diseased limbs, we’re not only preventing potential spread but also reducing the weight, which helps prevent breakage.

Safety is another crucial factor. Overgrown or weak branches can pose a significant risk, especially during storms or high winds when they can break and fall, causing property damage or personal injury. With our pruning service, we help ensure that your trees are not a hazard to your family or property.

Lastly, well-pruned trees can greatly enhance your property’s aesthetics. A tree that is cared for and pruned regularly can be shaped for symmetry, promoting a more robust and healthier appearance. But remember, pruning isn’t a job for an untrained individual. Incorrect pruning can lead to tree stress and increase susceptibility to diseases or pests.

At Mortensen Tree Service, Inc., we bring our in-depth understanding of tree biology to every pruning task. Our trained arborists can assess a tree’s condition and apply the correct pruning techniques, considering the right timing and extent of pruning based on the tree’s age, species, and health. Serving Centennial, Littleton, Greenwood Village, Highlands Ranch, and more, we’re committed to offering professional and experienced tree services.

Remember, maintaining your trees’ health through regular pruning is an investment in their future. Our team is ready to provide the expertise and care your trees need. With Mortensen Tree Service, Inc., you’re not just getting a service; you’re getting partners in promoting and enhancing the natural beauty of your property.

Orthodontic Treatment – Invisalign And Herbst Appliance

Invisalign

Invisalign is a new technology that we offer on selected cases. The Invisalign technology uses a series of clear vacuum molded “aligners” which gradually shift your teeth into the correct positions. Invisalign is usually reserved for our adult or mature teenage patients, While not for everyone, Invisalign may fit your needs. cleat braces - Invisalign

Herbst Appliance
The Herbst appliance is used to correct the front-to-back relationship of the upper and lower jaws, often referred to as Class II problems. The rod and tube that is affectionately called “the shock absorber” actually connects the upper and lower jaws. This really does not interfere with opening and closing your mouth or with eating. You might find side to side movement is somewhat restricted. More here

Things You Will Need To Get Used To
1. The bottom screws will irritate the lip. Your lip will toughen up like a callous, but it will take a few days for it to happen. You can put Orabase on the inside of the lip and cheek where it is sore. You can also place orthodontic wax over the screws to make it smoother. On rare occasions, it may be necessary for us to give you cotton rolls. These cotton rolls are placed inside your cheek to keep your lip and cheek away from the screw while you are sleeping.

2. When the lower jaw is brought forward, the back teeth do not come together as they did prior to the placement of the appliance, so be patient. Those teeth will come together so that you can chew normally in about a week.

3. Most of the time, there is no tenderness in the teeth when the Herbst appliance is placed. Every once in a while, a patient may feel some tenderness which is normally short-lived. It will disappear in a few days.

Possible But Not Probable Problems

1. If you open very wide, sometimes the rods and tubes can pop apart. If they do, just open wide and put the rods and tubes back together. If you cannot get them together, you can leave them apart and call for an appointment to put them back together again. If, when the rods and tubes are apart, you are not in pain, they can wait to be put back together until the next day or over the weekend because the muscles will hold the jaw in position. If they are causing pain, call the office and we will put them back together as soon as possible. If you are having a problem with the rods and tubes disengaging quite often, then please call the office and we will make the rods and tubes longer so they will not come apart as easily. We don’t like to do that unless it is necessary because we don’t want to move your jaw too far or too fast because it grows better if we move it gradually.

2. Occasionally, a screw may come loose. If this happens, you will have a rod or tube dangling in your mouth. If this is causing pain, then call our office and we will replace the rod and tube as soon as possible. If it is not causing pain, it can wait until the next day or over the weekend.

3. Infrequently, the Herbst can come loose or break; there is nothing indestructible we can put in your mouth. If you have a problem with something breaking or becoming loose, please contact our office. If it is not causing you pain and you can function, you can wait until the next day or over the weekend. However, if you cannot function normally or there is pain, please contact the office and we will correct the problem as quickly as possible.

Have you experienced a Personal Injury

You have been in a accident, automobile, slip and fall, workplace, etc.. Should you see or speak with an attorney?

As far as I am concerned, the answer is always yes.

When should you consult with an accident attorney? You should seek the advise of an accident attorney as soon as possible after the accident. Do not wait. You could be giving up certain rights. You should definitely speak with an attorney before speaking with the other sides insurance agent, adjuster or attorney.

You say that you can not afford an attorney. Most accident attorneys will consult with you for free and, if they take your case, will handle it on a contingency basis, not taking any fee until the case is settled. Most settlements are increased to cover the cost of the attorney and therefore normally the attorney costs you nothing. Many attorneys will also advance all court costs for you if they are forced to file suit.truck accident attorneys

You say that you were injured, however, the insurance company has offered to pay your medical bills and you do not feel it is right to take advantage of them by asking for additional money for your, pain, suffering, lost work, etc.. Don’t you feel that you as a person are worth something? Do you think so little of yourself that you feel that your pain, suffering, inconvenience, etc. is worthless. You did not cause this accident. What you are going through was caused by someone else. You deserve to be compensated. The insurance company, as a matter of good business, has already built these types of costs into the premiums that they charge their customers. If the money does not go to you it will probably go to their shareholders or to increased salaries or ?. Why shouldn’t you be properly compensated. Remember most good attorneys are ethical and although they will attempt to obtain as much money for you as is due, they will not take your case unless they feel that it is proper.

You say someone else admitted liability and said that their insurance will pay all your damages. That’s great, however, what if the person changes his or her story later on and says that you were at fault. Or what if the other side’s insurance company refuses to pay what you think is proper. In fact, how do you know what is proper? Remember, an insurance company may pay claims, but it is in business to make money.

It normally will not offer one dollar more than it has to and if you are not represented by an attorney the insurance company adjuster or attorney may feel that he or she can “get away” with paying much less than the claim may be worth. Additionally, what people state at the time of an accident is not always what they state after having spoken with a friend, insurance agent or attorney. Finally, an insurance adjuster or insurance attorney works for the insurance company, not for you.

How do you know that what they are telling you is correct or true. Remember, in most instances, they are there to try and save the company money. You need an attorney on your side to tell you what your rights and obligations are.personal injury lawyers

You say that you were not hurt that bad or at all. How do you know how badly you were hurt. Some injuries do not show up for months. Other injuries may aggravate a prior problem. Even if you have been found to be “ok” by a doctor, how do you know that a problem will not come up later. If you have insurance and did go to a doctor, who is going to pay your co-pay or deductible. If you do not have health insurance, who is going to pay for your examination which should include X-rays, etc.. If you retain an attorney he or she can probably refer you to a doctor who will accept a lien against the insurance settlement, thereby saving you from paying money out of your pocket.

You say you have accident insurance, why not let them handle everything for you. Your insurance company is there to defend any claims against you not to represent you in any claims against other parties. Additionally, they also are in business to make money. How do you know if they are trying to settle a case to help you or to save themselves money.
